Understanding a Diagnosis of Down Syndrome. There are two types of tests for Down syndrome that can be performed before your baby is born: screening tests and diagnostic tests. Prenatal screenings estimate the chance of the fetus having Down syndrome. These tests do not tell you for sure whether your fetus has Down syndrome; they only provide a probability. Diagnostic tests, on the other hand, can provide a definitive diagnosis with almost 100% accuracy. There is an extensive menu of prenatal screening tests now available for pregnant women.
A screening test shows the chance that a baby has a certain birth defect. The accuracy of a screening test is based on how often the test correctly finds a birth defect. The nuchal translucency test correctly finds Down syndrome in 64 to 70 out of 100 fetuses who have it.
